Are you a faculty member looking for ways to assist in your students’ success? Look no further than HSLIC’s Course Reserves Service. We work together with faculty to make sure that students at the HSC have access to the course materials they need to succeed.

What are Course Reserves:

The Course Reserves service provides students with a free and convenient way to find and use their eTextbooks. HSLIC provides both electronic and physical access so students can find their important course materials whether they're in the library or off campus.

The Course Reserves module provides access to items on reserve. By typing in the course number, course name, or instructor name, students can find their courses’ unique reserves page with a list of available materials. From this page, they will be able to access many of their course materials electronically. They will also be able to find what items are kept physically on reserve on the Course Reserves shelving on the ground floor of the library.

Adding Items to Course Reserves:

Textbooks are initially added to Course Reserves by comparing library holdings to a list of textbooks from the UNM Bookstore. Faculty can add additional items to reserve by going to the Course Reserves Release Form on the library’s website. If a desired item is not part of HSLIC’s collection, faculty may request that the item be purchased and placed on reserve by Requesting a Library Purchase.

Other Services:

Need specific chapters from a text for your course? We can help with that as well. By submitting a request through our Scanning & Permanent Link Request Form, faculty can request scans of required materials that they can post for their students on platforms like Canvas and Moodle. 

For more information about the other services we provide alongside Course Reserves, please see the Course Reserves guide for faculty.
